We repair the breach – v2


Our witness, our lives
walking with our neighbors,
loving our brothers
even the strangers
with the love of Christ

The choices we make
how we live daily,
we repair the breach
between God and man
as we mirror Christ

Yes there is grace,
oh how we need this,
God’s unending love
lifting us up
with the love of Jesus

Christ came to fulfill
the Law and the Prophets
not to tear down
but to lift us up
as only He can

We are to shine
to be light in the darkness
humble in our walk
as the salt of the earth
the hope of the nations

Shining our light
up on the lampstand
witnesses to God’s grace
yoked with the Christ
our Lord and our Savior
